I swear I didn't die...

But my computer did.  Both the battery and power supply died within 24 hours of each other.  Good timing, huh?  I have a backup battery, but no way to charge it until my new power cord arrives.  Boo!

So, until then, its blogging from my phone -- not fun! -- or bust.  I will return to my usual schedule (including my TAT/holiday wish list!) as soon as possible!
